Welcome to Critical Mass, Law.com’s new briefing on class actions and mass torts. I’m Amanda Bronstad in Los Angeles. Wrapping up this week, a judge tossed a case against a “professional objector” even thoughshe found his conduct “inconsistent with the ethical standards of the legal profession.” Also, envelopes with windows prompted lawsuits between Aetna and a settlement administrator. And I’ve got a preview of the latest SCOTUS briefs in China Agritech v. Resh. Send your feedback to abronstad@alm.com, or find me on Twitter: @abronstadlaw
